English term or phrase: I was stuck inside my head

Ilana is describing how nervous she was as she got ready for her pole dance audition.

"But I’d been thrown by the initial mistake in music, and now, I was completely unnerved. Instead of letting go, I was stuck inside my head, and I couldn’t get out of it and get into the music."
